Abstract
Abstract Metallized plastic films having deposited metal layers on both surfaces and being adapted for use as dielectric films, piezoelectric films or pyroelectric films are disclosed. At least a portion of the metal layer deposited on one surface of the film has a relatively increased thickness of 700 A or more and at least a portion of the metal layer deposited on the other surface has a relatively reduced thickness of 600 A or less. The increased thickness and reduced thickness portions are positioned opposite to one another. The thin layer permits rapid self recovery of localized dielectric breakdown, while the relatively thick layer provides better utility for the electric uses to which the film is put.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
80 words
In a metallized thermoplastic resin film constituting a transducer and having deposited metal layers on both surfaces thereof, the improvement comprising, at least a portion of said metal layer on one surface of said film having a first thickness between 700-5000A, and at least a portion of said metal layer on the other surface of said film, at positions on said other surface opposite to the position of said first thickness portion, having a second thickness between 100- 600 A.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
